THIS CHANNEL NEEDS OUR SUPPORT. THIS IS SO UNDERRATED EVEN THOUGH HAS PROVIDED US SO MUCH IMPORTANT EDUCATION VALUE THROUGH ITS STORYTELLING HISTORY LEARNING STYLE. LOVE IT
Indonesian here. Thank you for this! Looking in from the other side of history.
Wonderful video! I’m currently interested about colonial empires, including the Dutch East Indies/Nederlandse Indië (previously the VOC). Really well-articulated. Despite the harsh treatment of the Native Indonesians and Chinese by the Dutch, the Dutch contributed to the union of all the islands of the Malay Archipelago (excluding Malaysia and Singapore) and the Dutch East Indies became Indonesia, a country with great diversity (many ethnolinguistic groups and religions) and united under one language and one flag. It’s fascinating to learn a lot about history and we should forgive but never forget about what happened before.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I made a series about Dutch colonial history. Here is the playlist if you are interested:

Cheers!
Another good video Stefan! I remember watching your Indonesia series.
Gratitude! Yes, these videos became actually longer then I expected to be. Yet, now I still think about what I should've added. So much details to add.
Informative one. Learnt a lot about Dutch East Indies. Dutch Empire kicked off mainly due VOC. Appreciation must be given to those who had this sustainable model of VOC shares, world's first public traded company. Other empires in Europe that time still had monarchies controlling the treasury and money sponsorship was difficult
My husband's mother and father were Dutch Indonesian.When is mom was about 15 ,they escaped to Singapore ,then to Holland .I am interested in what happened.I find no books.His great grandmother was Indonesian ..no one seems to know her name .ty
Nogmaals wat uitspraak tips. Archipelago en alle woorden met TH combinatie. Zoals thousand. Je spreekt de t heel hard uit op zijn nederlands. Maar de TH combinatie neigt meer richting een F geluid. Zoek op youtube een uitspraak hulp voor deze combinatie, voor nederlanders is dit altijd een valkuil. Dit is pure feedback en geen negativiteit. Je maakt goede video’s!
Bedankt! Deze zaterdag volgt een nieuwe video waarin het woord gebruikt wordt. Kijken of er dan verbetering is ;)
Could you make a video about the restoration of the empire after the Napoleonic era?
It will be adressed in the video that will be uploaded the day after tomorrow.
Hello from TN 🇺🇸! I really enjoy this content! Thank you for covering this topic. I'm curious to know about more of the social aspects of these colonies. Specifically, are there coffeeshops and red light districts in these colonies?
Thanks for your message, Danny! I only visited Indonesia and there are no coffeeshops and red light districts there. This is also because coffeeshops and red light districts sprung up later (I believe from the 1960s). From that time Indonesia was independent. As for the Antilles and Suriname I wouldn't know but I doubt it!
You could also check out the south coast of Sri Lanka, a lot of early Dutch colonial architecture can be found there~; A whole town, a hospital and a lighthouse to name a few things :)
You mean Galle, also worth visiting is the Dutch period museum in Colombo
I think there is a slight mistake at 14:18. Suriname didn't become independent on 25th of November 1972, but the 25th of November 1975.
@@HistoryHustle no worries! You make some great content and I'm glad to see that someone is finally giving attention to the matter discussed in this video, but also on the second world war in the Netherlands. I hope you will do a video on the Georgian uprising on texel soon, as it was the final battle of world war 2 in Europe. Keep up the good stuff!
I'm Indonesian. You're not in-denile about what your own nation has done throughout it's history, and it's good to see how much your people have changed. Although, I must admit I cannot forgive what the Dutchman's have done to us, I hope you'd understand. 🙏
Even if I don't forgive, it doesn't mean we cannot be friends. I really don't mind being friends with you Dutchies, after all we've come to terms and bonded throughout our years, and became good friends. 💖
Thanks for your reply. More on that here:

Hope the Papua's can forgive the 300.000 victims of the Java colonial government after 1963
It’s incredible how the wording is twisted by this man, Dutch went over to fight and rob the lands of other people and he calls it
The Dutch went to Pacifise the lands!!!
Had to pacify them, they ran around naked and not growing pepper in proper mass
Make a broadcast that show all the flags of the state of aceh at that time because the history of state of aceh at the that time fought against the nederlands leaving so many stories in aceh 😎
Yes, Aceh is very interesting. I did made an episode of Aceh history on location in Banda Aceh, see:

Still binging while working from home and the weather is tropical...
Interesting about how the education policy was a weapon that the Dutch forged against themselves. Imagine if Marxism and nationalism had never reached this area. Then some other ideology would have dominated I guess. Colonialism was not viable for the long run at that point.
I also heard it suggested that the Dutch should have made everyone learn the Dutch language, but this didn't happen for budgetary constraints. Not sure if true or how many ordinary people learned Dutch in this period. Did we waste the chance to create a large Dutch language space like the Portuguese speaking world?
For this reason the portuguese never invest in education in Angola, Mozambique etc...
Indonesia, beautiful as it is, will always be economically stripped by Singapore as long as Islam keeps the locals in abeyance.
The Dutch were in India from 1625. And than they shipped the Indians to Suriname and South Africa for indentured labor. Not to mention all the shit they have put Ghana through
I'm indonesian... I just know your'e cruel....
@@HistoryHustle you all ordered us to build fort, tea field, corn field, high way, and many many facility without pay..
And let us die in a hungry..
If any some people cant do that that job, you did killed him... 350 years you all may genoside my people...
Come see to indonesia... I will show you how cruel that you did...
I've been to Indonesia. And I am well aware that Dutch rule was far from benevolent. Yet, the Indonesians I've met didn't hold any grudge against me.
I went to the Netherland, specifically Amsterdam twice and talked to some Dutch, they said Amsterdam was built with they money brought from Indonesia by the Dutch. I looked around the Netherland, there is nothing there, except tulips and sea water. Well, in Amsterdam there are naked women hanging out in front of glass windows waiting to be used, people smoking pots and the city full of cigarette pot.
I do have to say that Amsterdam is not really representative for the entire country.
History Hustle well, I traveled to the Netherlands, so, I know your very little tiny country. It’s under sea level. Your people are not friendly at all. They do not know how to say hi, hello or good morning or good afternoon.
I was in a train on my way to the airport, my fellow American who is 76 years old had to stand because there is no empty seat. The rain was riding rough. Your Dutch people were around, they young and did not respect the elders by giving up the seat to this older fellow American. Suddenly the train went into very rough turn and my fellow American felt down resulted in injured on one of his hand and even so these Dutch young men still didn’t want to help. What a bad moral was that. I wonder what is your country and educators teach at school?
History Hustle you don’t even know how to respond. You don’t have the skill of dialogue. Perhaps this is not something part of your history. I would suggest in your school, to your students you might consider to teach some good moral values toward others. What the Dutch have done to Indonesians could be something good for you to study in the moral ethics and moral context. I hope bring some enlightenments to your students. It is your JOB as a teacher.
wow you're ruthless as hell, I have no problem with that but I don't really like how you describe the women as if they were some sort of a product.
So sad, East indies big collapse....... big restore 🇱🇺🇱🇺🇱🇺🇱🇺🇱🇺🇱🇺🇱🇺🇱🇺🇱🇺🇱🇺
Im not sure what you mean but appreciate the comment. Don't confuse the Luxembourg flag for the Dutch one ;)
Great to hear you are from there. Indonesia is a lovely country. No reason to fight anymore, don't you think?
@PPI 4566 I see. In a few days a video will be uploaded where I go into detail about Indonesia's road towards independence.
Dutch East Indies wasn't dissolved, it was destroyed after the Indonesian National Revolution, i think that exists but most of the people don't know about it, some people know about it,
Note: Suriname became independent in 1975 and not 1972.
